Description
Back in 2005, I got word that there was a CSX work train coming my way with one of the last units painted for the Seaboard System, CSXT SD40 #4601. I went up to Waxhaw, North Carolina where I was lucky to intercept it. Luck wasn't entirely in my favor though. The sun was wrong for the 4601 leading the train from South Carolina.
But they did a curious thing in Waxhaw. They put their train on a siding, uncoupled the locomotives from it and then ran around the train to the other side. This let me get a good shot of the lead unit, then a rare bird on the CSX roster, GE B36-7 #5859, as well as a decent broadside shot of the trailing unit. I'd never catch the 4601 leading before CSX retired it.
